Wasnock's Kicker Earns Him a Healthy Pot
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mounir Tajiou opened J♠5♠ from the hijack to 205,000 and John Wasnock called on the button with J♥10♥. Corey Skogrand was in the big blind with A♦Q♣ and with around 1,300,000 in his stack, he elected to just call.
The flop came 7♥6♠J♣ and when it got to Tajiou, he made a continuation-bet of 300,000. Wasnock called, and Skogrand let it go.
A 3♥ hit the turn and after Tajiou checked, Wasnock bet 500,000. Tajiou wasn't going anywhere just yet and stuck in the call to se ethe 3♦ fall on the river. The action checked around, and Wasnock's kicker played, earning him the pot.
